    ESPN needs to replace Teddy Atlas

    Last night Friday Night Fights had two very good matchups for the first time in a while, but I could not believe how irritating Atlas was making it.

    He just keeps repeating himself over and over again. The fights were very good, but I eventually had to turn down the volume because he was so annoyingly ******.

    Teddy Atlas is giving Max Kellerman a serious run for worst boxing announcer! It will be difficult for boxing to have a comeback when the casual fan is turned off by an idiot like Atlas on ESPN.

      I don't understand your hate for Max, probably because of his dislike for Euros. Max may be biased but you can't deny he is good on the mic and has good knowledge for the sport. Atlas on the other hand is AWFUL. He is bad on the mic and his knowledge of the sport is sorely lacking(most of the stuff he says is pretty obvious), plus his predictions are so bad. Teddy is one of the worst.

        Teddy Atlas realy needs to learn how to score a fight as well. He had the Cloud-Woods fight 119-109? When all 3 of the Official Judges scored it 116-112 ,Teddy's almost always Off.

          I also like Kellerman a lot more than Atlas. He comes off as a lot more likeable while Teddy just comes off as self righteous.

            Teddy talks too much and he does have some corny analogies most of the time but I have either gotten use to it or I don't pay that much attention to him. I too only gave Woods one round and that was the 2nd round, I think the 5th was a even, maybe, just maybe we could have given Woods another round but Cloud was doing enough to win most of the rounds IMO

              No, it's because he's so ******. He really isn't intelligent enough to score a fight without bias.

              His predictions are usually wrong, because he doesn't really understand boxing, and can't think objectively about fights without favoring one boxer or another.

              But what turns off the casual fan is his repeating himself. It doesn't take long for most people to realize Teddy's limitations.

                Hell no, boxing needs Atlas. This rabbit face brings a funny point of view on boxing, always trying to coach the fighters when they're fighting, telling what they should do or not. The
                funniest thing is when he's hating on the Klitschko, it looks like they ****d his mama.

                  I thought the three judges had it right.

                  Teddy is simply not able to score a fight objectively. He must be really ****** if he isn't aware that he's making a fool of himself.
